It is for use on a 14 year old (but reliable) Toyota. The car is valued at only £500 so am reluctant to spend too much on it.

i would suggest for the price you buy it most cars stolen that are pre 93 are taken because they are easy to steal it therefore follows that yours will be harder so the scum will go to the next easier car.

Think you're wasting your money buying the cheap one, any scally worth his salt knows exactly how useless it will be, spend the extra few quid & get the Disclok - it's not only how much your car is worth it's also all the inconvenience & hassle you'll suffer if it gets stolen

I have a disclok I use if I have to leave any of my old cars anywhere not too savoury. IIRC it's the only physical device to have a Thatcham grading. Very difficult to remove as it is a loose fit so there's nothing to lever against.

I agree with Tr7v8 man. The Disklok was the only one ISTR that couldn't be forced in 5 mins. I bought one when I had a Mk3 Cavvy and the car was always there when I got back to it.
I still have the Disklok (I sold the cavvy) and, ironically, the Disklok will be used on my TR7 as well, for exactly the same reasons as pointed out earlier.
All the handbrake/gearlever locks can be forced. My mate had his Mk1 Cavvy stolen in Bradford a few years back and when it was recovered, the handbrake/gearlever lock was still round the gearlever but (strangely) not on the handbrake. They aren't even a deterrent, just waste of £20 (or whatever they cost).
Disklok or nothing in my book. I am not even sure about the cheaper ones that partially over the steering wheel, they just don't look strong enough and maybe would allow a scote to deform the steering wheel enough to force it off ??

Personally, I've always felt that the alarm should deploy the airbags if someone steals the car...

Oh whoopie! you know how much airbag deployment repair costs?

Maybe, but it?s the satisfaction factor. Similarly, I would have liked exploding door mirrors. Just enough to remove a couple of hands or a whole arm.

i like the syringe coming up through seat with deadly venom in personally.

Even better if the steering lock is still attached!
